Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

BOUT++: a framework for writing fluid and plasma simulations in curvilinear geometry
-
What programming languages are most used for creating advanced math-related software/simulations?
At least in my field (computational plasma physics), the majority of software is (in descending order) Fortran (e.g., SOLPS-ITER), Python (e.g., IPS; OMFIT; UEDGE), and C/C++ (e.g., BOUT++; Exascale Computing Project tools).
-
how much relevance is given to code quality in your academia projects?
I don't want to paint too bleak a picture of my field - there are definitely big, well-supported projects that invest in code quality! For example, Bout++ is a fluid solver whose devs care a lot about best practices, and the folks at the Exascale Computing Project are doing great work with tools like Kokkos (GPU acceleration of HPCcodes), ADIOS (I/O for HPC), AMREX (meshes for HPC), etc.
